- Colorizer version 1.0
- ---------------------
- <<***CLICK ANYWHERE OUTSIDE SCROLLBAR TO RETURN TO PROGRAM***>>
- Welcome to Colorizer Version 1.0!
-
- The pay version, 2.0, features:
- automatic color on the screen as you change the color!
- faster display algorithm - almost instantaneous!
- copying to clipboard of what is displayed on the screen!
- printing to an ImageWriter II in full color!
- You can only get this version if you send $10 to:
- Scott Neufeld
- 6 Lake Road
- Peekskill, NY 10566
- Include a disk, and I will mail back version 2.0
-
- This program allows you to add color to any existing MacPaint, FullPaint, or
- any other type of paint program you have! Here is how it works:
-
- (*NOTE: V1.0 has an odd bug about it - if you select HELP and then
- you select Read a File, either a beep and nothing or a beep and a blank
- window will result - DON'T PANIC! Just select READ again. This bug
- doesn't exist in 2.0)
-
- Go into the paint program, and select the picture that you want. Using
- the marquee or the lasso, select it, and copy it. You may copy it to
- a scrapbook if you wish.
-
- Go into the Colorizer program. Select Scan Clipboard (be sure a picture
- is stored in the clipboard!).
-
- The picture will then be displayed on the screen.
-
- Select Scan a portion of the screen from the mouse menu.
-
- Now, like you would in using a marquee, drag a box over the portion of
- the picture you want a certain color. After doing so, let go of the
- mouse. A new menu will pop up entitled colors. Select the color you want
- the portion of the image you have selected. You won't see the color change
- right now immediately (that is in the version you will receive if you
- send the requested $10)
-
- You can continue selecting portions of the screen and selecting colors.
-
- When done, select Done Scanning from the mouse menu. Now, the computer
- will scan all the areas you selected. THIS MAY TAKE AWHILE, because what
- the program does is this:
- It scans, up to down, the area you selected. If a pixel is found to be
- black, it writes that to disk along with a tag for color. To save room on
- disk, a tag is created for each section you select, not each pixel.
-
-
- Reading a file:
-
- After selecting Read a File, you have an option:
- If you select "Read and Draw", then the computer will read and draw at the
- same time. This screen display will be slower than Input and Draw, but it
- will be continuous.
- Input and Draw will store 1000 of the pixel arrangements in an array, and
- THEN display it on the screen. The screen display will be faster for that
- segment, but it does lose some speed when its reading into the array from
- disk.
- You decide which you want.
- If, at any time during drawing, you want it stopped, just click the
- mouse.
-
- Again:
-
- The pay version, 2.0, features:
- automatic color on the screen as you change the color!
- faster display algorithm - almost instantaneous!
- copying to clipboard of what is displayed on the screen!
- printing to an ImageWriter II in full color!
- You can only get this version if you send $10 to:
- Scott Neufeld

- Include a disk, and I will mail back version 2.0
-
- Enjoy, and happy colorizing!
